The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

They will suffer my wraith too! - He will be weathered, but hopefully whole, sortof... with the help of tape... when he comes home again to stay.

I hope you don't mind my risking him... I think it is a fun thing to do.

How very touching. I'm sitting here with tears running down my face. Thanks so much for sharing that with us. It is good to know that our military leaders and their families care so much for the soldiers they command.

I like the idea of you atop Bay while Frodo stands in front of a supply-laden Fatty (you hold the reins to avoid an awful trampling incident!). Be sure he is up front, so that it looks like he is defending you from something!

Be sure to wear a cloak and the Evenstar and be sure he is wearing the Ring!

Oh my.... That is a hard photo to set up! - Not just one animal that doesn't know the word "stay" but two!

Good for you, Corin! I always let our kids have their say, but cut off discussion if they started getting a little too ugly! They understood that they could speak their minds, but it had to be civil and respectful.

I don't mind if you don't mind! He is yours after all!

I just want to be sure that you are comfortable parting with him under these circumstances. I'd be more than happy to ask everyone to chip in a few bucks and get another Frodo standee, but my feeling is that you like the idea of a well-traveled Frodo! *grin*

We should set some game rules though as far as shipping. For example, he must be shipped as he came packaged. He must be shipped via courier or priority mail. He must be cared for in a better manner than you care for yourself! LOL!!! You know what I mean.

Oh yeah, and no kissing the standee and (this to the Dwarves especially) no "compromising" Frodo scenarios, no matter how drunk you are or how funny it may seem at the time!

Well, I was a little embarrassed/disturbed at how I let my anger get the best of me. But I think he got the point.

Of course we won't mention the fact that I had to replace the door knob to his room...

Ha! Michael Graham just pointed out that it took Janet Reno 55 days to take Waco...but it took our troops only 21 days to take Iraq!

Okay, gotta run. See y'all later.

HOLY CRAP!! *insert blue face dude getting scared and having hair stand up straight*

I was sitting here with my earphones in plugged into the computer (I was listening to Rush audio) and I saw my computer screen was dusty so I wiped it with my hand and just shocked the hell out of my ears! That hurt! What a dumb thing for me to do!

I think he got that from Rush....he was using all sorts of comparisons yesterday..or was it the day before? He used Reno and Waco and Hilary getting the billing documents and so on.

It sure is cool, having the DU types show up and rant, and get ZOTed and laughed at! This is a good day, despite the suffering necessary to achieve it. Suffering we will always have, but justice is excessively rare!
